About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI · Feb 5, 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying Evoqua Water Technologies, LLC EONA Portable Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Systems for hemodialysis applications on a VA-wide basis. The solicitation seeks responses from vendors who can demonstrate FDA clearance for the systems, integrated endotoxin removal capability, heat disinfection technology, leak detection sensors, comprehensive water quality monitoring, and portability features compatible with ROVER ALX transport equipment. Vendors must submit technical literature mapped to nine minimum technical requirements, service plan details, company information, SAM registration credentials, business size classification, manufacturer or distributor status, country of origin designation, supply chain capability documentation, and an authorized distributor letter certified by the original equipment manufacturer. The RFI deadline for responses is February 19, 2026, at 11:59 PM Eastern Time, and all interested offerors must be registered in SAM prior to submitting their responses. Evaluation will be based on vendors' ability to meet all technical and operational requirements while supporting delivery to VA medical centers and facilities throughout the United States on a nationwide basis.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and identifies Evoqua Water Technologies, LLC as the incumbent product line requiring brand-name single award status under FAR 16.503. The contract will consist of a 12-month base period with four optional 12-month renewal periods, with continuation contingent upon successful annual performance reviews and continued operational need. The procurement encompasses 43 contract line items including the primary RO system, transport equipment, replacement filters, hoses, test kits, disinfection products, preventative maintenance service agreements available at semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly intervals, extended warranty coverage, technical and clinical training, and system installation services. The associated NAICS code is 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, placing this as a potentially significant acquisition spanning multiple years of VA-wide operational support.

2.0 SCOPE

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program has identified the Evoqua Water Technologies, LLC EONÂ® Water Purification Systems: RO: HEMO: Portable product line as a candidate for a VA-wide (otherwise referred to as national ) contract. Water Purification Systems: RO: HEMO: Portable are compact reverse osmosis (RO) hemodialysis water purification systems designed to produce ultra-pure dialysis grade water that meets current ANSI/AAMI/ISO standards for hemodialysis, and are compact, lightweight, portable systems (e.g., mounted on wheels) with integrated handles allowing for rapid relocation and set-up in multiple clinical environments. These systems are specifically engineered for very high-water volumes and strict contaminant limits required in hemodialysis, where even trace amounts of certain substances (such as aluminum, chloramines, or endotoxin) can cause serious patient harm. Portable hemodialysis RO systems typically include pretreatment (e.g., sediment and carbon filtration for particulate removal and chloramine/chlorine reduction), one or more semi permeable RO membranes, a high pressure pump to drive water across the membrane at pressures exceeding the osmotic gradient, and associated controls, monitors, and alarms. The RO membrane is permeable to water but largely impermeable to dissolved salts, organic molecules, microorganisms, and particulates, producing permeate (product water) that is then supplied to the hemodialysis machine via appropriate medical grade tubing and connectors. Compared with general purpose RO units, hemodialysis RO systems incorporate tighter performance specifications, continuous monitoring (e.g., conductivity, pressure), and disinfection capabilities to achieve and maintain very low levels of ions, bacteria, and endotoxin. Given patient exposure to hundreds of liters of water during a single hemodialysis session (as dialysate and substitution fluid), product water quality must be verified regularly through chemical and microbiological testing, using limits and action levels defined in applicable AAMI/ISO standards. Facilities typically incorporate upstream pretreatment to address local water characteristics (e.g., hardness, particulates, chloramines) before RO, and may add downstream ultrafiltration or endotoxin retentive filters to further control microbiological contaminants. Periodic disinfection of the RO system and distribution tubing is essential to control biofilm, and any deviation from specified water quality requires prompt investigation and corrective action.
